The Team

“...for many years, I have tried to surround myself with people who have human values and are more intelligent than me, who know more than me and who think big, keeping for myself the task of pointing out trends and ensuring integration, in addition to creating a pleasant and motivating climate in which everybody can give the best of themselves … ”

Finding the right professional with the necessary speed and efficiency requires our work to be highly rigorous, methodical and professional.
For this we have a highly qualified human team, capable of implementing an efficient and effective methodology and of complying with the strictest confidentiality rules.

IN MEMÓRIAM

José Rosón was a man blessed with the virtues of great wise men, such as an insatiable desire for learning and innovation. And he was generous with his wisdom, sharing it selflessly. Those of us who were close to him enjoyed the wonderful privilege of learning many of his virtues, which remained with us as a legacy we have received with honour and a sense of responsibility. It fills us with pride and satisfaction to have had him as a father and we give thanks to God for that.

Many of those who knew him will share our opinion that one of his greatest qualities was his ability to visualise and forecast the future. He was a man ahead of his time since, although he lived most of his life in the 20th century, he is a humanist model for the 21st century, having many of the attributes that are needed to tackle the changing times we are living in: tolerance, a global vision, a desire to excel and improve, limitless imagination, natural leadership to inspire hope and conciliate, good judgement, commitment ... He was also a great admirer of feminine values and believed in the importance of women taking on an active role in society..

José strove for excellence and was capable of making things truly excellent. He always thought big and made those of us around him feel great without losing our simplicity. He protected us without smothering us; he motivated us without being pushy; he taught us values and ethics by example.

It was a pleasure to have known him in this life; a gift from God to have him as a father; great fortune to count on him for advice; and the height of luxury to have him as a friend, the best of friends.

He fought to the end, positive and full of life. In his final years he waged a fierce battle against his illness and even in those terrible times we continued to learn by his side. He taught us with exemplary expertise how to tackle the obstacles life throws up with strength, level-headedness, prudence and fairness.

We are saying farewell to a gentleman; a Good Man with capital letters; not only good in terms of kindness but also because of his integrity and the example set by his good deeds.
